I recently bought an iphone 4 from a friend which was locked to vodaphone. I have just had the phone unlocked by vodaphone but when i put in my t-mobile sim the phone says either "invaild sim" or "no service".
Info:iPhone 4, iOS 5.1
This will show you just how far out of the "loop" I am but does T-Mobile have a microsim and if so or not, is it going to be possible to unlock the v4 to work with T-Mobile? Don't have ATT where I am. Still on 1st gen and T-Mobile.

I closed the account and moved overseas, and have been using it as an iPod Touch + camera for a month or two.Now I want to jailbreak and start using it as my phone here. I'm running Jailbreakme, but then can I do the unlocking without an AT&T SIM in there at all? I might have my old one floating around, but it's probably been deactivated, I'd imagine..

I have done some research and seen ATT now allows iphone's to be unlocked, that being said how is it done? I am wanting to leave ATT for their poor service, and go with a compnay that has no contracts. I am sick of the high bills when nothing has gone over, and paying 250.00 for 3 phones when I do not have bells and whistles!! Anybody willing to help?

There are just so many different scenerios and different options, and i'm somewhat novice, and i don't want to screw anything up, and to top it all off, i'm on a serious time crunch. so, down to business....i've got a 3g, with 3.1.2 and at&t 5.6 and modem firm is 05.11.07 it is jb.
Here is the problem: it's getting really pokey with all the stuff i have loaded on it, and i want to start from scratch. restore. but i'm scared to restore, because i don't want to upgrade to 3.1.3 because final outcome, i need to unlock as well.
What i want to do: restore to completely clean, then re-jailbreak, and unlock.
I have an iPhone 16GB 3Gs that I bought off a USA-eBayer a while ago (though I live in the UK). I'm with Virgin Mobile that 'does not' support the iphone, though when I rung up before the purchase of the phone, the team said though they don't stricktly support the Apple device, but iPhones generally work on their network.
I bought in confidence and my iphone worked floorlessly for about 12 months on the iOS 4.1 system, becuase I didnt want the hastle of unlocking my phone back for the Virgin Mobile website each time I updated through iTunes, i didn't bother. Evenetually I updated to iOS 5.0 (off the internet rather than iTunes) and since then my phone has really struggled to keep a strong signal, or indeed WiFi connection. It can have full signal but then it says 'Searching...' for a couple of seconds then will find all the signal again. This as you can imagine gets pretty infuriating when its happening 4 times a minute, and only when I want to actually use the phone.
Also the phone likes to turn off at any point, even if it says it has about 70% battery and was on charge all night, then it demands to be on charge before it turns back on again, sometimes stating that it has the '70% charge' it told you before, or a dramatically reduced charge depending on its mood.If I wasn't worried about it getting locked to the original carrier, I'd just plug it up to my iTunes and update it, but as it stands, I cant do that!

A friend of mine has an older iPhone (I'm guessing it's an 'original' iPhone,running iOS 3.1.3, using his ex's PUK card, but I could be wrong about that).He's using his ex's card because he inadvertently locked his original card sometime ago and forgot his password. Is there a way he can get it unlocked, possibly using a 'generic' "universal" password so he doesn't have to use his ex's 3G card (supposedly, his old PUK was a 4G)? He's used quite a few of the attempts he has to unlock it so far and only has perhaps 2-3 more tries before the car locks permanently.

I recently contacted them to say I want it unlocked in order to use my Vodafone simcard and they simply sent me a text and I unlocked the phone through iTunes. I have now inserted my Vodafone microsim (brand new and working, it does on my other phones) and it says No Service no matter what I do!

After a simple restore. my Original Fido phone will no longer accept it as a valid sim card.I restored twice, and came to no success. Again, this is the original phone, with the original sim card, which i might add, works on 2 other phones.

After taking the iOS 8.1.1 update to my iPhone5 periodically displays an "invalid SIM" warning. Not very often, but enough that it is annoying. If I turn my phone off, then back on, my SIM card is good and the phone works fine.Â
After waiting on hold for 45 minutes the apple care representative gave me this list of things to try... If you see 'No SIM' alert on iPhone Learn what to do if you see an "Invalid SIM" or "No SIM Card installed" alert on your iPhone.In some situations, the status bar on your iPhone might display No SIM, even though your iPhone has a SIM card. You might see an alert saying "Invalid SIM" or "No SIM Card installed."If you see any of the above symptoms on your iPhone, follow these steps:Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.Turn airplane mode on and then off again.Restart your iPhone.Check for a carrier settings update. Go to Settings > General > About. Install any available update.Remove the SIM card and make sure that it's a valid SIM that your carrier provided.
Also make sure that it's not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.A SIM tray that comes with one iPhone model won't necessarily work with a different iPhone model. When you insert the correct SIM tray, the SIM tray should be flush with the device.If you have another SIM card, insert it. You can use a SIM card from any phone with the same format as your iPhone SIM card. If your iPhone works with that SIM card, contact the carrier that issued your original SIM card.Restore the iPhone.If you still see the issue, contact Apple support. I have just gone threw the "Restore the iPhone" step. We shall see if it happens again... Stay tuned!

I recently came into the hands of a 16gb 3gs iphone with 3.1.3 and its locked to o2.Obviously it can not be jailbroken or Unlocked. so i thought so i popped into a local shop that claims it can unlock the iphone to various UK networks.the gentleman told me he can unlock the phone for £25!i thought great! and asked if it is a guarentee? he told me it was BUT apparently if you turn the iphone off, or it loses power for what ever reason then the Unlock will be reset and will no longer be open to all networks?
